Sneeg doesn't want the war, but he'll fight if Foolish wants him to. He doesn't want to kill, but he'll try if Ros wants him to.

Everyone calls him a guard dog, they call him a warden, they call him a god. Does anyone ever call him a person? Does Sneeg even think of himself as a person? Or just a weapon for the Kingdom to point at a problem and pull the trigger until it goes away?

Everyone always says that the Kingdom is taking advantage of Ros, but who is really using who?

not bothered to make a relationship chart yet so this is what Cal’s WhatsApp looks like

[nrc-official-gossip]

Dude have you seen all the side eyes the house wardens are giving eachother?? What the hell happened 😭😭

I’m not sure what happened, but I have seen them it’s incredibly funny.

one time I was with Kalim and we were going to octavinelle to find Jem. He saw Azul and they just held eye contact for a solid ten seconds before just going on with whatever. Very strange.

look at this fuckign picture my mom took yesterday. she took it because of callie but you can clearly see im in a dungeon

[starlee246]

Cal was named after a friend who named herself after Callie from splatoon…

Altayr is Arabic for bird oh my god how creative.

Jem spawned partially from being a shortening of James and partially from Gem the lady in Swashbuckle

What is the meaning of your OC's name?

it is a bit funny that realm only pangi fans are like "its so cruel that pili would use zam to get to pangi like that!" meanwhile lifesteal fans are like "if pili told zam that he wanted zam to come with him to get under pangi's skin that would only be a selling point for him."

Clown naming his secret Realm SMP trio LOSA was like a cruel joke that only became apparent in retrospect and becomes more true every day.

Everything Ros does makes so much more sense considered through the lens of BPD, to be honest. The hyper-empathy, the black and white thinking, the fear of abandonment. She idolizes Foolish, Aimsey, and Clown and cannot see their flaws even when they're pointed out by others. Even her conversation with Aimsey, when she claimed that the Kingdom has never connected emotionally with her the way Aimsey, Pangi, and Bad do could be seen as splitting. We the viewers can easily call out when she's full of shit with the things she claims, but when someone splits, all those examples of positive interaction genuinely do not exist in their minds. To the people she's hurting with her actions it looks like she's some kind of master manipulator, but she isn't. She's just struggling to make sense of her own reality, and challenges to her perception of that reality hurt. And the more she is challenged, the more she lashes out.

Imagine being Tubbo and the same day that Pangi tells you that he killed every single bee within a 1000 block radius, Clown tells you that he's not only prestiged his enchanting skill but also maxed it a second time. And the server has only existed for five days.

starting to think the only pronoun set sneeg knows is they/them

I think the size of the Kingdom vs the Honey Badgers is indicative of the way that Foolish and Bad treat the mortals around them. Disregarding of the fact that both of them have admitted they don't really feel bad about dragging bystanders into their quarrels for a second, they both have very different modes of interacting with the world around them.

Foolish, for example, is friendly and personable. He makes an effort to be diplomatic, to make everyone feel included and welcome whether they are part of his faction or not. Even if his relationships are only skin deep, people can't help but fall a little in love with him. He's the life of the party, the host everyone wants to hang out with. It's easy to say yes to someone like that when they ask you to join their team.

Bad, on the other hand, is more closed off, holding people at arm's length. His relationships tend to be more transactional, and he can be downright nasty to even those he considers allies. Despite keeping a relatively friendly tone he frequently says offputting things, either to shock or because he is genuinely just that disconnected from social mores. Even if he's a brilliant tactician and strong ally, he's just not the kind of person most normal people would want to be around.

Foolish loves to surround himself with mortals like they are his playthings. They're collectibles. And sure, he'll be a little sad if they break, but he can always get new ones. Bad treats them more like tools. What does it matter if he only has a couple allies as long as those allies fulfill their purpose? But the thing is that some tools are so specialized, that their value is incalculable. They can't easily be replaced, and their loss is that much more devastating when it happens.

The thing about Clown is that he really likes to mess with people. He doesn't have to work very hard to do it because he can let his reputation do most of the talking. What he's doing is a test. He's gauging people's reactions. Most people will respond in one of two ways: they will be afraid, or they will take it as a challenge. So for Clown, that makes it really interesting when Sneeg doesn't do either.

The thing about Sneeg is that he sees right through people. He's perceptive as hell and has a low tolerance for bullshit. When Clown acts intimidating, Sneeg clocks that he's just posturing. He doesn't care whether Clown can actually back his threats up or not, because he knows he doesn't intend to unless Sneeg gives him a reason to. Sneeg obviously has no plans of doing that without being provoked in turn. This is such a unique way for someone to react to Clown that it's downright disarming. Sneeg is, arguably, the one and only person to pass Clown's test.

With Sneeg, Clown is more free to be himself than he is with anyone else. He can rough house without worrying about taking it too far. He can share secrets without fear that it will be used against him. Sneeg doesn't have ulterior motives for Clown when they hang out. He just wants his company. In a way Sneeg is more his equal than those that share a similar skill in pvp just by treating him like he's nobody special rather than as a challenge to overcome.

If you didn't tune into Tango's stream yesterday then here's some highlights of what he discussed about trying to revitalize the server:

He took Ros's suggestions which includes adding more players, especially women. He's leaving it up to her to suggest either to him or directly to Tubbo who to add.

He said he'd like to chat with the inactive players and see what caused them to stop playing and what can be changed to encourage them to log on more.

He wants to add a permanent exp boost to players under level 50 to encourage them to log on and grind despite the higher level players like Sneeg and Bad being intimidating.

He wants to update the server 1.21.

He wants to change the factions and either remove Red, change Red to function like the other factions, or remove factions entirely.

He has a few ideas on the backburner for future events, but he wants to focus more on things to get players online consistently and not just when something big happens.
